Despite an extensive literature on homelessness there is
surprisingly little work that investigates the roots of
homelessness by tracking homeless people over time. In this
fascinating and much-needed ethnographic study, Megan Ravenhill
presents the results of ten years' research on the streets and in
the hostels and day-centres of the UK, incorporating intensive
interviews with 150 homeless and formerly homeless people as well
as policy makers and professionals working with homeless people.
Ravenhill discusses the biographical, structural and behavioural
factors that lead to homelessness. Amongst the important and unique
features of the study are: the use of life-route maps showing the
circumstances and decisions that lead to homelessness, a systematic
study of the timescales involved, and a survey of people's exit
routes from homelessness. Ravenhill also identifies factors that
predict those most vulnerable to homelessness and factors that
prevent or considerably delay the onset of homelessness.
